Hercules

Hercules is the mightiest warrior from Olympus. He carries his Enchanted Mace called Sfyri.

History
Hercules was the son of Zeus, king of the Olympian gods, and a mortal earthly woman named Mena.

Zeus seduced Mena in the guise of her husband, who was away at war.

Due to his Olympian lineage, Hercules was born with the potential for extraordinary superhuman strength. Zeus' wife Hera grew jealous of his adultery, Mena tried to appease the goddess by naming her child Hercules "Glory of Hera."

The child was at first abandoned outside the city and when Minerva and Hera found it, Hera decided to feed infant Hercules with her divine breast milk. While Hera breastfeeding the child, Hercules' godly strength harmed her when he bit down harder on Hera' breast and she flung him away. He was returned to the city and was accepted by Mena and her husband. However, Hera then sent two serpents to kill the child, but even at one year old he had great strength and strangled them both with his bare hands.

Teen Years
Mena's husband raised Hercules as his own training in all forms of combat. It was during a lesson with his music teacher who criticized his lack of skill, Hercules killed him with a single blow. Hercules would go on many adventures of his own.

In 1291 B.C., on the road to Thebes he encountered a group of Minyan warriors travelling to sack the city, Hercules beat them all with ease. This lead to war between Minya and Thebe and Hercules was imprisoned for the attack. It was then that he learned the truth of his origin from his parents and they gave him the garb bestowed on them from Zeus. He met with the leader of the Minyan, but when they tried to execute him with the axe and it shattered on his neck. It was however during the battle that Mena's husband was killed. The king thanked him for saving the city and gave him the hand of his daughter Princess Megara.

Olympian
As his mortal body burned his soul fell for three days into the depth of Tartarus. However Zeus took pity on him and split the immortal part away from his body allowing the "shade" to fall into the underworld. Now a full god, Hercules took his place as god of strength.

Powers and Abilities
Olympian/Human Hybrid Physiology:

Hercules was inherently born a half-Olympian god from his biological father, Zeus, king of the Olympian gods and half-human from his biological mother, Alcmena. As an infant, he was breastfed by his stepmother, Hera, queen of the Olympian gods, who nurtured him with her divine breast milk which vastly increased his already demigod physiology to godlike levels. Hercules possesses the conventional superhuman physical attributes of an Olympian god; however, some of his powers are superior to the vast majority of his race, such as godlike strength, invulnerability, and godlike stamina.


 * Godlike Strength: Hercules' principal power is his godlike strength, and he is physically the strongest of all the existing Olympians. As the Olympian god of raw strength, Hercules' strength is unlimited, making him one of the strongest and most powerful heroes.
 * Superhuman Leaping: Hercules' great strength extends to his powerful leg muscles, allowing him to jump great distances and heights, although they do not match those of the Hulk. However, while the exact limit is unknown, he is capable of leaping hundreds of feet in Earth's gravity.
 * Superhuman Strength Utilizations: As part of Hercules' immense strength, he can produce powerful shockwaves by either clapping his hands or stomping his foot.
 * Superhuman Speed: Hercules is capable of running and moving at speeds beyond the natural physical limits of the finest human athlete.
 * Superhuman Reflexes: Hercules' reflexes are in levels beyond the natural physical limits of the finest human athlete.
 * Superhuman Agility: Despite his extreme muscular size, Hercules has the ability to move his body with flexibility and coordination that are significantly beyond the natural limits of the human body.


 * Godlike Stamina: Hercules' highly advanced musculature produces no fatigue toxins, enabling him to sustain almost indefinitely.
 * Invulnerability: Having sipped of Hera's breast milk as an infant, Hercules gained mystical invulnerability, making him extremely resistant to all forms of physical injury. Conventional bladed weaponry has been shown to be unable to pierce or even break his skin. Hercules has a greater resistance to physical injury than any other Olympian god except for Zeus and possibly Neptune and Hades. It has been said the only thing that could truly kill Hercules is if his body was incinerated or his molecules dispersed enough.
 * Superhuman Dense Tissue: Due to the side-effect of his half Olympian physiology, like all Olympians, Hercules' skin, muscles, and bones tissue are about three times denser than similar human tissue, contributing to his superhuman strength and weight.


 * Regenerative Healing Factor: Despite his great resilience, it is possible to injure Hercules. However, like all members of his race, he is capable of recovering from injuries with superhuman speed and efficiency. However, he is unable to regenerate missing limbs or organs unless he used magical assistance to do so. Hercules is also immune to all known Earthly diseases and infections. He is highly resistant to most drugs and toxins but can be affected if exposed to great quantities.


 * True Immortality: Like all Olympians, Hercules is true immortal. He is immune to the effects of aging and has not aged since reaching adulthood. Hercules is also immune to all known Earthly terrestrial diseases and resistant to conventional injury. Although he can be wounded in battle Hercules cannot die by any conventional means. Despite being thousands of years old Hercules possesses the appearance and vitality of a man in his physical prime.
